WHY am I ALWAYS hungry?!?!?!

Maybe its just genes, is anyone in your family genes like this, or were they as a teen?

the 3 things i would atleast think it could be is...

Genes (Most likely)

Prego (I hope not :p But i highly doubt it..)

Nutrients (Your not getting the right ones.. :p)
 
Lol! My parents aren't exactly on the light side.. but I think soccer helps a lot. I practice outside everyday for at least an hour.

Might be the nutrients, though. But I drink milk, eat cheese, have protein, eat carrots and the occasional other greens, uhh.. I love orange juice and apple juice.. I eat lots of bread LOL.. *shrugs*
 
Have you been exercising more than you used to? Because I'm like that too, if I exercise I can eat a lot. But, if I don't exercise I don't get hungry.
 
Even if I don't exercise (on a lazy weekend) I still get hungry. I've even gone a week without it and been hungry and didn't gain any weight. Yaaaaaaaaaay!
 
My roomie used to eat like that, and my friend's doctor told her it is super unhealthy to eat tv dinners (even the lean ones) more the 2-3 times a week b/c they contain HUGE amounts of sodium. If you eat whole wheat and more fiber rich things and drink a lot of water you should be more satisfied. Like switching to shredded mini wheats, I like the frosted ones, and the blueberry aren't bad either!!! :) You should maybe look at your sodium and sugar intake... I am more hungry if I eat too much sugar or too much salt b/c it leaves me craving one or the other. If you notice you start gaining weight make sure you drink lots of water, its a great filler and if you are super hydrated you shouldn't put on a lot of water weight.
 
I'm in Arizona, I'm outside whenever I can go outside and well, since it's so hot I sweat a lot! Not to mention my mom's car doesn't have air conditioning.

I'm ALWAYS craving salt!

As for fiber rich things, I eat my PB&J on whole bread, and I have one or two whenever I can.

I will never stop eating cookie crisp! However, we do have mini wheats.. I will eat that WITH my cookie crisp.. LOL

Last time I went to the doctor they said I was healthy haha.
 
I'm still wondering why it takes you 45 minutes to eat a bowl of cereal. o.0

inside joke

LOL Sandra..If you think about it, tape worm vs prego...2 parasites, only one can be disposed of without moral implications. And yes lil Ms Syn is way too young to be pregos.
 
I would say to get your thyroid checked. I went through that about 6 years ago, didn't think anything of it at first, but then noticed how much it was costing me for all the food. Turns out i had an overactive thyroid, causing food to be broken down quickly, hence all the hunger. It sounds ideal that you can eat loads and not put on weight, but it's quite a serious condition.
 
Your thyroid helps regulate growth along with your pituitary gland. Yes, If you are eating that much and losing weight, I would very much recommend getting it checked. Everyone here is being sort of light hearted about it but you could actually have a medical condition that needs addressing. Being so young it is quite important to rule out a medical cause. Including being prego! I work in a pharmacy and see young girls with thyroid problems every day. If the mega-eating continues, yeah, see a doctor.

You can thank Dr. House for that one.

Syn, maybe you are the source of the pin worms. I bet your vet would be shocked opening that package with the *cough* sample.

Does it require shots?.. *shivers*

No, it's easily controlled with medication. It may not even be the cause...I'm talking better safe than sorry with checking the thyroid. (Or any other medical issue) It's just the Mom in me being concerned. Do as you wish, but if you were my daughter....................

I meant to diagnose. I have such a fear for needles that my dentist has to knock me out to do anything.
